Sorry to here of George's passing and wish the family our condolences. Had many contacts with George through the years. First met him at Memorial building where we held our Navy Reserve meetings. That was in about 1961. Later Ken Conner and I did some remodeling for him in the Steak and Stein . There I met Donna along with George. Enjoyed seeing him at the Memorial Days at Kingston where you could find him passing out flags along with doing other things. The last few years we had contact with him at the Hy Vee store on Johnson Ave. We will miss him , but remember him much in the future.
Blessings Ted and MaryLe Smyth

My sincere condolences to George's family and friends. I met George back in 1966 when home on leave from the U.S. Navy and it was great to meet a fellow Navy Chief Petty Officer. This is when he was at the Steak and Stein before moving to the Home Port. Over the years we had kept in touch until his retirement from the Home Port. We always enjoyed visiting with George and Donna, swapping sea stories. His support for our veterans and fellow shipmates was very commendable, and I am proud to have known him as a fellow shipmate and friend. Smooth seas and following winds, my friend.

The AMVETS Post#6 family, and I personally, are saddened to hear of George's passing. He contributed so much to the welfare of the Cedar Rapids community, and more specifically, to the brotherhood & sisterhood of veterans. We will be forever in his debt. May he rest in peace. He will surely be missed. Sincerely, Donald A. King III - Commander - AMVETS Post #6.
